A cluster of floating cabins in Ottawa's east end has hit the shoals of bureaucracy as residents continue a months-long fight for their removal. Since November 2020, a jumble of colourful cabins have popped up over the docks of Ozile's Marina at Petrie Island in Orléans. "It's like a campground, that's what we call it — a floating campground," said Raymond, a retired public servant. Daniel Raymond and Renée Larose-Raymond say the cabins are a threat to the sensitive wetlands that make up Petrie Island. A man and his dog nap at a floating cabin at the marina near Petrie Island.
